the fact they're releasing gitmo detainees is nothing new. but as you pointed out i think perfectly, it's the number of detainees that's not only raising eyebrows, it's quite frankly raising the ire of many lawmakers on capitol hill. in all 15, now 12 of them are actually from yemen, another three are from afghanistan. but that's not perhaps the most important part of this. perhaps the most important part of this story is the fact we're talking about al qaeda-trained men who are caught on the battlefield, a great many of them not only caught on the battlefield fighting against the coalition for quite some time, a great many of them were weapons trained by al qaeda. let me show you some numbers, i think the folks at home will find this very instructive and valuable as well. now, we've talked a great deal about the obama administration's decision to try to if not close gitmo, at least they can empty it and drive down the numbers there. and the numbers are quite frankly startling. if you go back to when the office, there were 245 detainees. that

does trump plan to keep gitmo open, make more sense?een in favor of keeping gitmo functioning for many years. i think it doesn't make sense to go to all the trouble to arrest someone and convict someone who has been a terrible terrorist and treat them like a trout and release them, keep doing catch and release because you have sent them to some state in the mideast where they are originally from and not really going to go into prison and if they do it will only be for a brief time or a prison they can get out of. a lot of the way gitmo has operated in the past has not been sound and reasonable and i think it should stay functioning, 60 detainees i suppose, those are likely to be the hardest line, not sure what we gain by releasing them. >> when trump talks about extreme vetting can you give us a sense what the us is doing now and how it can tighten up its vetting process? >> what steps would be taken that would protect americans? >> i don't know how it is vetted, from a country like syria, say they are not political but a physician and
